PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Dear Investor:
 
I am pleased to present the Semi-Annual Report for the Riggs Funds—Class R and Class Y Shares—for the first half of the funds’ current fiscal year, which is the six-month reporting period ended October 31, 2001. It begins with an investment commentary by each portfolio manager, followed by a complete list of holdings and the financial statements for each fund.
 
The six-month reporting period was positive for bonds, as continued declines in interest rates caused the prices of existing bonds to rise. As stock investors are painfully aware, stocks continued to record negative returns. I urge you to remember that the short-term volatility, while painful, is part of stock investing. Positive stock performance is best pursued over time—in years if not decades. Of course, if you’re a money market fund investor, your outlook is considerably shorter—your money is at work earning daily income and ready whenever you need it.
 
The following highlights summarize fund performance over the six-month reporting period:
 
Riggs Stock Fund
The six-month reporting period was a volatile one for the U.S. stock market. As a result, the fund’s diversified portfolio of high-quality, “household name” stocks produced a negative total return. The Class R Shares total return was (18.55)%, or (20.18)% adjusted for the 2% redemption fee.1 The return was the result of a decline in net asset value. The Class Y Shares total return was (18.51)%, the result of a decline in net asset value.1 The fund’s net assets totaled $57.6 million at the end of the reporting period.
 
Riggs Small Company Stock Fund
As the most aggressive fund in the Riggs family, the fund invests in carefully selected stocks issued by small companies.2 Small-company stocks continued to show weakness during the reporting period. Reflecting the decline in values among small-company stocks, the total return for Class R Shares was (7.75)% or (9.60)% adjusted for the 2% redemption fee.1 The return was due to a decline in net asset value. The return for Class Y Shares was (7.62)%, the result of a decline in net asset value.1 At the end of the reporting period, the fund’s net assets totaled $42.6 million.
 
Riggs Large Cap Growth Fund
This fund is managed to help investors pursue capital appreciation by investing in a portfolio of the largest growth companies traded on U.S. stock markets. Class R Shares produced a total return of (31.27)%, or (32.64)% adjusted for the 2% redemption fee.1 The return was due to decline in net asset value. Net assets in the fund totaled $22.4 million at the end of the reporting period.
 
Riggs U.S. Government Securities Fund
This fund’s government-focused bond portfolio paid Class R Share dividends totaling $0.25 per share. The Class R Shares net asset value increased from $9.93 to $10.30. The dividends and net asset value increase resulted in a total return of 6.31%, or 4.31% adjusted for the 2% redemption fee.1 Class Y Shares paid dividends totaling $0.26 per share, while net asset value increased from $9.93 to $10.30. The dividends and net asset value increase resulted in a total return of 6.45%.1 The fund’s net assets totaled $105.0 million at the end of the reporting period.
 
Riggs Bond Fund
This fund is managed to help investors pursue a high level of current income through a portfolio of investment grade corporate bonds and government bonds. Class R Shares paid dividends totaling $0.26 per share, while the net asset value increased from $10.50 to $10.92. As a result, Class R Shares produced a total return of 6.54%, or 4.54% adjusted for the 2% redemption fee.1 Net assets in the fund totaled $33.6 million at the end of the reporting period.
 
Riggs Intermediate Tax Free Bond Fund
Designed for tax-sensitive investors, this fund pursues a high level of income free of federal income tax through a portfolio of intermediate-term, investment grade municipal bonds.3 Class R Shares paid dividends totaling $0.21 per share, while net asset value increased by $0.22. As a result, Class R Shares produced a total return of 4.22%, or 2.22% adjusted for the 2% redemption fee.1 Net assets in the fund totaled $56.3 million at the end of the reporting period.
 
Riggs Long Term Tax Free Bond Fund
This fund is also managed to help tax-sensitive investors pursue a high level of income free of federal income tax—through a portfolio of long-term, investment grade municipal bonds.3 Class R Shares paid dividends totaling $0.22 per share, while net asset value increased by $0.31. As a result, Class R Shares produced a total return of 5.16%, or 3.16% adjusted for the 2% redemption fee.1 Net assets in the fund totaled $54.6 million at the end of the reporting period.

Riggs Prime Money Market Fund
This fund helps shareholders earn daily income on their ready cash through a portfolio of high-quality money market securities.† The fund’s Class R Shares paid a dividend of $0.01 per share and Class Y Shares paid a dividend of $0.02 per share.1 The fund ended the reporting period with total net assets of $282.8 million.
 
Riggs U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund
This is the most conservative Riggs fund, which is managed to help shareholders earn daily income on their ready cash through a portfolio of direct U.S. Treasury money market securities or repurchase agreements fully backed by U.S. Treasury securities.4 The fund’s portfolio of U.S. Treasury money market securities paid dividends totaling $0.01 per share for Class R Shares and $0.01 per share for Class Y Shares over the reporting period.1 Net assets in the fund totaled $168.5 million at the end of the reporting period.
 
However near or far your financial goals are, thank you for pursuing them through the professional management and diversification of the Riggs Funds. We’ll continue to keep you up-to-date on your progress.
 

Sincerely,

/s/Peter J. Germain

INVESTMENT REVIEW
 
Riggs Stock Fund
Riggs Small Company Stock Fund
The reporting period from May 1, 2001 through October 31, 2001 saw drastic changes in the U.S. equity markets. The third quarter of 2001 marked the worst quarter of performance for equities since 1987 as investors attempted to preserve capital by switching more assets into cash and short-term U.S. Treasury securities. Even before the terrorist attack on September 11, stocks were already discounting a recession as corporations continued to warn about disappointing earnings prospects and increased layoffs. The attack aggravated this phenomenon, sharply curtailing consumer confidence and corporate spending, resulting in an increased likelihood that the U.S. economy had entered into a recession.
 
However, the equity markets appear to have priced in a longer and deeper recession than will likely be the case; hence, we consider the recent sell-off a buying opportunity. While the timing of an economic rebound has been pushed into next year, the combined effect of the Federal Reserve Board’s (the ‘‘Fed’’) actions to lower interest rates and the government’s action to provide fiscal stimulus yields an increased probability that this will be a relatively mild recession. Although we do not expect a sharp recovery next year, stocks are priced attractively relative to cash and bonds.
 
For the reporting period, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (‘‘S&P 500’’)1 had a total return of (15.15)%, while the Russell 2000 Index2 of small cap stocks had a total return of (10.34)%. The worst performing sectors were Technology, Capital Goods, and Consumer Cyclicals and Services (including transportation and travel-related stocks). The sectors that held up best were Healthcare and Communication Services.
 
For the reporting period, the Riggs Stock Fund performed somewhat below the return of its benchmark, the S&P 500, with a total return for Class R Shares of (18.55)%, or (20.18)% adjusted for the 2% redemption fee. The total return for Class Y Shares was (18.51)%. Recent factors that contributed to performance derived from the following:
 
 
 
Greater-than-market exposure to companies and industries affected by the terrorist attack, including United Technologies Corp. (commercial aerospace supplier) and media companies AOL Time Warner, Inc. and Clear Channel Communications, Inc.
 
 
Weaker-than-expected earnings reports from several companies in the portfolio, particularly in the Technology and Financial Services sectors
 
 
Strong relative performance from a variety of individual stocks in the Energy, Healthcare, and Communications Services sectors,3 as well as our large position in Wal-Mart Stores Inc., which bucked the poor retail trend, helping to offset the negatives above
 
For the reporting period, the Riggs Small Company Stock Fund out-performed its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index, with a total return for Class R shares of (7.75)%, or (9.60)% adjusted for the 2% redemption fee. The total return for Class Y Shares was (7.62)%. The excess performance was primarily attributable to stock selection, as we maintained our sector weights relatively close to those of our benchmark. In particular, the following stocks performed very well in the third quarter: Alliant Techsystems (defense contractor), Scholastic Corp. (children’s book publisher) and Weingarten Realty Investors (shopping center REIT). Offsetting these were numerous stocks that suffered from earnings warnings, including several technology stocks and a few airline stocks that had been very profitable investments prior to September 11.
 
We know that such turbulent periods can be difficult for investors; however, it is times like these when we believe that our disciplined approach to investing adds the most value to our clients’ portfolios. By maintaining this focus, we strive to fulfill your long-term goals.
 
Riggs Large Cap Growth Fund
For the reporting period from May 1,2001 through October 31, 2001, Class R Shares of the Riggs Large Cap Growth Fund generated a total return of (31.27)%, or (32.64)% adjusted for the 2% redemption fee, compared to a total return of (15.15)% on the S&P 500 and a total return of (18.47%) on the Nasdaq Composite Index4 over the same period. The fund’s under-performance of its benchmark (S&P 500) has largely been a result of the fund’s commitment to high growth, high price-to-earnings stocks in Technology and other sectors.
 
The six month reporting period was most decidedly marked by the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States. The terrorist attacks halted trading for several days and sent the already volatile markets into a steep sell-off once they re-opened. The reporting period saw the continued slowdown in the overall economy and a massive fall off in business technology spending both prior to and following September 11. Many companies responded to the difficult business environment by announcing and enacting job reductions and/or corporate restructurings.
 
We too have worked to respond to these challenging times by balancing the fund’s exposure to the Technology sector by investing in healthcare, consumer/retail, financial, and industrial companies that are expected to deliver decent earnings performance despite the current economic slowdown. We also have adjusted cash reserves as appropriate to provide an additional buffer against potential market downturns. From time to time, we have raised cash reserves to relatively high levels and reduced equity holdings (including large cap holdings) to relatively low levels. Since the terrorist attacks on September 11, we generally have been adding stocks and reducing cash.
 
We know that market and economic conditions have been extremely difficult over the last few months, and that there is no guarantee these conditions will improve in the immediate future. While some investors may be unnerved by these conditions, we nevertheless find several reasons to be

optimistic. First, even in the face of an economic slowdown, many of our companies have increased operating earnings. We believe their prospects may improve even further as the economy recovers. Second, monetary policy by the Fed and potential fiscal stimulus by the federal government have provided some support to the economy. Third, there are some tentative preliminary signs of a market bottom, as the market has regained its post-September 11 losses.
 
In challenging times such as these, it is difficult—but essential—to maintain a long-term investment perspective. It is our strategy to stay invested in growth companies, with a continued focus on technology stocks and also healthcare, financial, consumer/retail and industrial stocks. In addition, we will continue to explore selective buying opportunities in companies with positive fundamentals and positive projected earnings growth.
 
Riggs Bond Fund
Riggs U.S. Government Securities Fund
During the reporting period from May 1, 2001 through October 31, 2001, the U.S. fixed income markets have seen significant changes. The events on September 11 dramatically altered the former landscape. Prior to the attacks, the U.S. economy had been manifesting the classic signs of a manufacturing based recession, i.e. reduced inventory orders coupled with anemic production levels.
 
Since the attacks, the Fed has reduced the federal funds target rate an additional 150 basis points and remains poised to reduce rates further, if necessary. This aggressive action has resulted in the lowest Treasury bill rates since the Kennedy assassination in the 1960s. Further, since inflation (as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI)) was at 2.7% at the end of September, real rates of return (nominal rates less CPI) for short-dated Treasurys were negative for the first time since 1993. It is important to remember that the current crisis is not like the liquidity crisis we faced in 1998. The current situation is event-driven and thus likely to result in increased government spending and debt issuance. Reflecting this stimulative behavior, the bond market responded with a 105 basis point steepening of the yield curve (2-year vs. 30-year yields). Among sectors, Treasurys performed the best, benefiting from a flight to safety, while corporate bonds performed the worst. During the third quarter, the portfolio lagged the index due to its below benchmark duration.5 This conservative approach was taken based upon the lack of value offered by the bond market.
 
Going forward, perhaps the most difficult aspect is that there is no historical basis on which decisions can be made; this is truly uncharted territory. Every crisis since the attack on Pearl Harbor has yielded results reliant on the conditions prior to the “event”. There is no typical response regarding the elasticity of credit spreads or yield levels, and due to the lack of history, the fixed income markets are likely to be volatile. Based upon this type of environment, Riggs’ Investment Management Corp. (RIMCO) will look to emphasize both quality and liquidity within the portfolio. Once a clearer picture of the economy becomes apparent, we may look to capitalize on Corporate sectors that offer value.

Duration is a measure of a security’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Securities with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities of shorter durations.

The current situation is event-driven and thus likely to result in increased government spending and debt issuance. Reflecting this stimulative behavior, the tax-exempt bond market responded with a 45 basis point steepening of the yield curve (2-year vs. 30-year yields). Among sectors, hospitals performed the best, while Transportation bonds performed the worst. During the third quarter, the portfolio lagged the index due to its below benchmark duration. This conservative approach was taken based upon the lack of value offered by the tax-exempt bond market.

There is no typical response regarding the elasticity of credit spreads or yield levels, and due to the lack of history, the fixed income markets are likely to be volatile. Further, the attacks have caused major budgetary shortfalls at the state and local levels, and are likely going to result in increased issuance going into the fourth quarter of 2001 and the first quarter of 2002. Based upon this type of environment, RIMCO will look to emphasize both quality and liquidity within the portfolio.
 
Riggs U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund
Riggs Prime Money Market Fund
The reporting period from May 1, 2001 through October 31, 2001 was marked by the terrorist attacks that took place on September 11. The near-term impact from the attack includes weaker stocks, increased volatility, monetary and fiscal stimulus and steeper yield curves. The monetary stimulus came as the Fed continued to ease throughout the third quarter, lowering the Fed funds target rate by 25 basis points at the August 21 meeting, citing continued weakness in the economy. The Fed came in again on September 17 with a 50 basis point cut following the terrorist attack, bringing the rate to 3.00%, an almost 40 year low. The Fed has now eased a total of 400 basis points since the beginning of 2001.
 
The unemployment rate in September jumped to 4.9% from 4.5% and included a large drop in the manufacturing payroll, down a total of 1.1 million since July 2000. Gross Domestic Product came in at 0.3% for the second quarter, the lowest level in eight years, following a 1.2% rate in the first quarter. Consumer confidence in September dropped to its lowest level in over five years, fueling speculation that a recession might be deeper than anticipated.

The average maturity of the Riggs U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund was extended slightly as we increased our exposure to Treasurys, viewed as a safe haven in volatile markets and uncertain times. The three-month and six-month Treasury bill rates were down 128 and 124 basis points, respectively, with the majority of that move occurring after the attacks. The yield on the two-year Treasury note plunged 77 basis points following the attacks and was down a total of 136 basis points for the third quarter to 2.80%, the lowest yield since 1958. The spread between the two-year and thirty-year Treasury widened out over 80 basis points following September 11 and got as wide as 274 basis points, an eight year high, due primarily to the dramatic drop in rates in the short end of the curve.
 
The average maturity of the Riggs Prime Money Market Fund was essentially unchanged, although we increased our exposure to corporate and commercial paper in an effort to enhance the yield of the fund. Yields were down dramatically in the short end of the market as evidenced by the fact that the average seven-day simple yield on taxable money market funds was at 2.55% in late September, its lowest level since reporting began in 1975.
 
We will continue to look for opportunities to enhance the yield of the funds going forward when rates look attractive versus repurchase agreements. We will monitor the various sectors as well as the yield curve to find the best investments for the funds.

COMBINED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
Riggs Funds
October 31, 2001 (unaudited)
 
Organization
Riggs Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of nine diversified portfolios (individually referred to as the “Fund”, or collectively as the “Funds”), which are presented herein:
 
Portfolio Name

  
Investment Objective

Riggs Stock Fund (”Stock Fund”)
  
Seeks to provide growth of capital and income.
Riggs Small Company Stock Fund
(“Small Company Stock Fund”)
  
Seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation.
Riggs Large Cap Growth Fund
(“Large Cap Growth Fund”)
  
Seeks to provide capital appreciation.
Riggs U.S. Government Securities Fund
(“U.S. Government Securities Fund”)
  
Seeks to achieve current income.

Riggs U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund
(“U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund”)
  
Seeks to provide current income consistent with stability of principal and liquidity.
 
The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held.
 
Previously, the Stock Fund and Small Company Stock Fund offered Class R, Class Y and Class B Shares, also the Large Cap Growth Fund offered Class R and Class B Shares. As of July 21, 2000, the Class B Shares for all three funds were no longer offered. All Class B Shares were converted to Class R Shares.
 
Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
 
Investment Valuations
U.S. government securities, listed corporate bonds (other fixed income and asset-backed securities), and unlisted securities and private placement securities are generally valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked price as furnished by an independent pricing service. Listed equity securities are valued at the last sale price reported on a primary national securities exchange. For the money market Funds within the Trust, the use of the amortized cost method to value portfolio securities is in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act. For fluctuating net asset value Funds within the Trust, short-term securities are valued at the prices provided by an independent pricing service. However, short-term securities purchased with remaining maturities of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value. Securities for which there are no quotations readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”).
 
Repurchase Agreements
It is the policy of the Funds to require the custodian bank to take possession, to have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System, or to have segregated within the custodian bank’s vault, all securities held as collateral under repurchase agreement transactions. Additionally, procedures have been established by the Funds to monitor, on a daily basis, the market value of each repurchase agreement’s collateral to ensure that the value of collateral at least equals the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement.
 
The Funds will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed by the Funds’ adviser to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or standards reviewed or established by the Trustees. Risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties to honor the terms of the repurchase agreement. Accordingly, the Funds could receive less than the repurchase price on the sale of collateral securities.

Riggs Funds
 
Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions
Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Bond premium and discount, if applicable, are amortized/accreted as required by the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”) and for financial reporting purposes. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. The Funds (except Bond Fund, Intermediate Tax Free Bond Fund, Large Cap Growth Fund and Long Term Tax Free Bond Fund) offer multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Funds based on average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.
 
Change in Accounting Principle
As required, effective May 1, 2001, the Trust adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies. The U.S. Government Securities Fund and Bond Fund began amortizing long-term market premiums and discounts and the Intermediate Tax Free Bond Fund began amortizing long-term discounts on debt securities. Prior to May 1, 2001, the U.S. Government Securities Fund and Bond Fund did not amortize long-term market premiums and discounts and the Intermediate Tax Free Bond Fund did not amortize long-term discounts on debt securities. The cumulative effect of this accounting change had no impact on total net assets of these Funds, but resulted in the following adjustments based on securities held by the funds on October 31, 2001:
 
    
Undistributed
(distribution in excess of)
Net Investment Income

    
Accumulated net
realized gain (loss)
on Investments

The statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for prior periods have not been restated to reflect this change in presentation. For the Funds of the Trust not indicated above, the adoption of the guide did not have any effect on their financial statements.
 
Federal Taxes
It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the provisions of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of their income. Accordingly, no provision for federal tax is necessary.
 
At April 30, 2001, the following Funds had capital loss carryforwards for federal tax purposes, which will reduce each Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve each Fund of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforwards will expire as follows:

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions
The Funds may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Funds record when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.

40

 
Securities Lending
Under guidelines adopted by the Trustees, each Fund may lend portfolio securities to brokers/dealers and other financial organizations in order to generate additional income. Loans of portfolio securities by a Fund will be collateralized by cash, letters of credit or U.S. government securities, which are maintained at a minimum level of 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities. Collateral is either held as cash or reinvested in short-term securities including overnight repurchase agreements, commercial paper, master notes, floating rate corporate notes (with at least quarterly reset rates) and money market funds. The Funds return a portion of the interest on any cash received as collateral and continue to receive interest or dividends on securities loaned. Included in interest income is $546, $16,366, $17,792, $3,950, $700 and $5,501 for Stock Fund, Small Company Stock Fund, U.S. Government Securities Fund, Bond Fund, Prime Money Market Fund and U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, respectively, attributable to income earned on securities lending transactions.
 
Riggs Funds
Loans will be made to firms deemed by the Funds’ adviser to be of good financial standing and will not be made unless, in the judgment of the Funds’ adviser, the consideration to be earned from such loans would justify the risk. The risks associated with lending portfolio securities consist of possible decline in value of collateral, possible delays receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities or expenses from enforcing the Funds’ rights should the borrower of the securities fail financially.
 
As of October 31, 2001, the value of securities loaned plus interest, the payable on collateral due to broker and the value of reinvested cash collateral securities were as follows:

Actual results could differ from those estimated.
 
Other
